Buckle up — OK Motels is venturing north, from Melbourne, for a raucously wholesome time!

For those unfamiliar, OK Motels by Kate Berry is a concept that brings live music, art, and soon-to-be-friends to country town communities — temporarily transforming streets, pubs, bowls clubs, public pools, and motels into welcoming spaces for all. It’s about uniting unlikely characters (locals and visitors) through the common bond of mateship.

After a series of sold-out events in country towns in across Victoria — featuring the likes of Amyl and the Sniffers, Tropical F%#k Storm, Julia Jacklin, Floodlights, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever and The Murlocs — OK Motels is heading for warmer waters, bringing a stacked lineup of artists and community-fun activities to the Sunshine Coast.

Pack your bags, jump in the car, and get ready for a full weekend in Kenilworth, where the whole town will come alive with live music, activities, and more!
